OL2007, Word as editor, right mouse button not showing autocorrection

[Bill Davy]

Normally when using Word and the cursor is over a misspelt word, the right
mouse button shows alternative words and various other options.

However, when creating a new email in OL, the Word editor uses the right
button for Work | Signatures. Can I get it back to the normal Word
modality?

TIA,
Bill

If you want the normal modality, then you can't be typing in the signature
portion of the message. Create a default signaure for all of your accounts.
For those accounts where you don't want a signature, use one that is just one
line with two hyphens and a space. You'll then be able to see where the
signature begins. Enter your message above that point.

This means you are typing in the signature area. Add two dashes to the top
line of your signature so you can more easily see where it begins.

That fixed it. Many thanks.

But surely the two dashes are not for me - I can see where my signature
begins (a row of equal signs). They are for OL to know where the signature
begins (though it should really know that already as it stuffed the
signature in. I guess it is harder to make things work seemlessly.

But it works and the two dashes are not a problem (a bit unsightly though)
